Cool preview of the roads of Gorges Roubaix bicycle race. If you're not already looking ahead to the epic awesomeness of racing on the dirt roads & cobblestones in the Spring, then... well, you should be.

After the official launch ceremonies were complete, Horner talked with PEZ about his new roll leading the young team, and we picked up the reverse side as young guns Tim Aiken, Griffin Easter and Luis Lemus explained how things on the team are different a bona fide Grand Tour winner as their leader.

France From Inside Tours specializes in cycling holidays in southern France. One of their most popular trips is the epic Conquer the Pyrenees, 12 days riding 1000 miles from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean and back, climbing over 94,000 feet. The company owner and lead guide, Allan Reeves, explains how next year’s 6th presentation of this marathon ride unfolds.

David Pearce has come to the end of his Tour Down Under with the final stage 6 circuit race in Adelaide. As always he sends in a photo collage that takes in the full atmosphere of the Australian WorldTour race, Adelaide and the star of the show; the Santos Tour Down Under.

A desperate attack by pre-race favorite Richie Porte saw him steal the queen stage but he couldn't quite reach the leader's jersey falling two seconds short as Rohan Dennis hung on in fine style. The sentimental favorite Cadel Evans was also well in attendance as was a simply huge Aussie crowd with our photographer David Pearce right in amongst them all to capture these great images of all the action.

There are many things that make the Tour Down Under one of the best World Tour races of the calendar to visit - from the amazing scenery to the quality racing but the TDU wouldn't be the race it is without the fans. Our man Down Under David Pearce played the fan on Stage 4 and caught up with some of the crowd that make that atmosphere happen.

Stage three of the Santos Tour Down Under saw PEZ man in Australia, David Pearce, spend the day in the Drapac team car to get the full in race experience. From coffee to cycling heroes and the chance to see the day's race break up close. Did the break go all the way? Read on to find out.

Day three of David Pearce's Australian adventure takes in stage 2 of the Santos Tour Down Under. More big crowds were at the roadside to greet the riders as they battled towards the up-hill finish in Stirling. With all the Joey's around we are definitely in Australia, but it was a day for the Spanish.

After his lesurly start to the first WorldTour race of 2015, David Pearce is up and running and chasing the Santos Tour Down Under. David is hanging with the Drapac team and is using his backstage pass to bring you all the behind the scenes action. He's also loving the weather.

Photog David Pearce is on the ground for the Tour Down Under, and as an accomplished travel and wine journo, was keen to visit the McLaren Vale region to ride and have a look at some of the roads that will be ridden on stage 4, with the requisite stops for food & drink along the way.

The 2015 US Cyclocross Nationals served up some of the muddiest racing in recent memory. But mud makes for epic days, and awesome photos - and PEZ photog Will Swetnam serves up his faves from the long weekend of soggy, dirty bike racing.

Congratulations to long-time PEZ-Fan Clint Underwood of Kennesaw GA - as WINNER of the Polar V800 Multisport GPS Watch and Bluetooth Smart Speed & Cadence Sensors. His 2015 training year just got off to a fantastic start!

Merry Christmas everyone - and happy holidays too. With any luck you're spending time with people who matter, and maybe even getting a little bonus time on the bike. Before the PEZ-Crew settles in for a long winter's nap, I asked the guys for a few words on the year past, and the time present.
